Decision Table on Russian University Entrance Case
Introduction

Traditionally, the universities and institutes conducted their own admissions tests regardless of the applicants' school record. There were no uniform measure of graduates abilities; marks issued by high schools were perceived as incompatible due to grading variances between schools and regions. In 2003 the Ministry of Education launched the Unified state examination (USE) program. The set of standardized tests for high school graduates, issued uniformly throughout the country and rated independent of the student's schoolmasters, akin to North American SAT, was supposed to replace entrance exams to state universities http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Russia.

Decision Table

In decision table we are using all the official rules and conditions put by Ministry of Education and Science of Russia. First of all applicant must have Secondary Education Certificate. This is the most important fact. Enrollment to university is done by order and the order depends on conditions of Ministry and free places left.
In decision table Winners of Olimpiads and applicants belonging to group A enter university (statistics show that free places are left), but after applying group B it is possible that there will be no free places left, therefore we have to check for free places.
If you do not belong to above mentioned groups it is better for you to have the maximum points on USE.


NOTICE: We can not use this Decision Table in real life because we are not able to know if there is any place left before every applicant has applied.external image moz-screenshot.jpg
